Abstract

This project gives practice about knowledge in the arena of cultivation. The Internet of Things shows us a shared system of events that link others online. Smart agriculture is an important IoT application. Smart agriculture enhances crop output while decreasing water and pesticide waste. Here, is a proposed mechanism to track crop fields. Light sensor for temperature, humidity, and soil moisture. If there is insufficient soil moisture, the irrigation system can be automated by watching these factors.  Today, several nations are focusing on and developing automation in agriculture. The need for food is rising in line with the world's population growth rate, which will double in the next decades. The best answer is agro automation, which can handle this quick increase in demand. Farmers' traditional methods are ineffective in meeting the escalating demand. The agricultural development is disrupted by improper nutrient, water, fertilizer, and pesticide use, and the land stays unproductive and desolate. Automation of agricultural practices using advanced control mechanisms has been shown to boost crop output and strengthen soil fertility. The extensive use of technology improves agriculture greatly. Despite its limitations, the Internet of Things is the logical choice for agriculture. Farmers benefit greatly from smart technology integration in agriculture.
